Read more ↓Forretress, the Bagworm Pokémon, is a Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It evolves from Pineco starting at level 31. Forretress is known for its heavily armored, spherical body, which is covered in a hard shell that resembles a pinecone. Its shell is made of steel, providing excellent defense, and it can seal itself off completely when threatened. Forretress often attaches itself to tree branches, patiently waiting for prey. When it senses movement, it opens its shell and fires off pieces of its armor or shoots out its internal body parts like cannons. Its diet primarily consists of insects and smaller Pokémon, which it ambushes effectively. In the Pokémon games, Forretress is often utilized for its high defensive stats and its ability to set up entry hazards like Spikes and Toxic Spikes, making it a strategic choice for competitive battles. In the anime, it made notable appearances, often showcasing its defensive capabilities and its unique method of attack. Forretress's design is inspired by bagworm moths, which build protective cases around themselves from natural materials. Its Steel typing gives it numerous resistances, making it a formidable opponent against many other Pokémon types.
